Two differences: fvwmtaskbar had a shared mail checker/date display. I dont know of an easy way to get both, so now it's just an xclock display. fvwmtaskbar colorset colors show up lighter than the same colorset in FvwmIconMan or elsewhere.. would you be able/willing to share the relevent section of your config file to show how you did it? jamie

Yeah that would be good. I always like to see how other people have configured their window manager as well, it always amazes me to see how versatile it is and some people achieve really fantastic results. jamie

FvwmIconMan is the part that keeps track of running programs. I would first configure that, to act like the major part of the taskbar. After that you can add the start button and other things like clock/notifications by swalowing it into FvwmButtons. I am sure there are good reasons for not keeping FvwmTaskBar but for me it is a shame. I think it's a cool feature. I've got it set up so it's transparent and i'm really happy with the look of it and the fact it's so easy to use. FvwmButtons is great there's no doubt about that and i've achieved really nice results with it in the past - for me anyway - but, it is tricky to get the more advanced configuration right. I haven't yet looked at using it as a task bar though so not sure how tricky will be. jamie
FVWM: Task Bar Disappearing
Hello I use the Task Bar and I have set it to check Maildirs in my home directory for new mail. When the window manager starts the Task Bar disappears after a few minutes, i'm assuming this is when the Maildir is first checked. I wondered if anyone else has experienced this problem and if so, do you know how I can fix it. I'm sorry but I do not know of any debugging technique to provide more information. The version of fvwm I am using is 2.7.0 built using the FreeBSD port process. Jamie

Ideally, stop using it and use FvwmIconMan and FvwmButtons. strangely, nothing in ~/.xsession-errors. Definitely not set to AutoHide. I'll do as you suggested and use use those two other modules, I used to use them anyway but in a slightly different way. Thanks to you both for your help. Jamie
